Sri Lanka speedster Nuwan Thushara has reportedly sought help from the Colombo District Court regarding the denial of an NOC from the SLC for participation in the ongoing IPL season for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
The Lankan board clarified before the start of the IPL that they would issue NOCs to some of their players only after conducting some fitness tests, which they feel are necessary for some players who have been affected by injuries.
Nuwan Thushara was once such a player who missed out on the entire T20 World Cup due to an injury just before the start of the international tournament. However, with more than a month between the start of the T20 World Cup and the IPL, the cricketer has rehabilitated and is back on the field.
Nuwan Thushara seeks Judicial intervention after the SLC rejected the NOC for IPL participation
Lankan speedster Nuwan Thushara's unavailability turned out to be a concern for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru; however, they managed to cater to their needs with the New Zealand pacer Jacob Duffy.
However, Thushara doesn't want to miss out on the golden opportunity to play in one of the most prestigious leagues in world cricket. In Josh Hazlewood's absence, he could have also made it to the playing XI.
However, SLC ruined his hopes as they did not give him an NOC for the competition. Thushara has now moved to file a case in the Colombo District Court seeking an order to direct the SLC to issue a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to enable his participation in IPL 2026. The court has also accepted the case.
